Exclamation Licking/Swallowing/Smacking...Something is Wrong.

Hello my YorkieTalk friends! I haven't been here in quite a while, but need your help please

Pixel started swallowing and smacking/licking his lips last night about an hour before bed. He had been playing and eating fine all day, but once that started his ears were back and just looked, well wrong (we know our babies!). He also coughed a couple of times, like something may have been in his throat. Mostly just the licking though, minor coughing.

He continued this until he went to sleep and seemed to sleep fine through the night.

Then this morning, same thing. He jumped around wanting to be picked up (as usual), ate his treats just fine and went potty fine. BUT was still smacking, though didn't seem like as often as last night.

Since he didn't seem to feel badly (ears weren't back anymore like last night and seemed more normal), I went to work. But now of course I am doing nothing but worrying. Do you think this can wait until tomorrow and see how he does tonight before taking him to the vet, or could this be potentially dangerous and I should leave work and rush home to him??

Please give me some advice. My vet can't see him today (too busy) and neither can another one I called. I could get him in somewhere else I'm sure, but just don't know if it's necessary.

Thank you for any help!!!
